do you really read this?

hey everyone, who ever that is, i have this weird hunch that there are only like 2 or three ppl who read this thing anymore but w/e, i've started it, so i'll finish it. as you are aware i don't update this very often and that i assure you is cuz it takes forever and we have the opposite of forever for computer time, no because we don't care about all you invisible readers out there, the government probably has some one reading this, just to get information for whatever it is they need info for...and NASA too. anyway i have no idea what i wrote about before and i don't want to go back and read it. as of the last few days we've been hangin out in surfer's paradise doing, you guessed it, no surfing at all. the weather has been crap for the last week so we really haven't been out much. what we did do is go to some theme parks around the area. don't worry, they were ridiculously expensive so we're stickin to our guns on our budget out the door theory. darcy has been sick lately so he missed out on one of the parks. that day i went to white water world with some of the freinds we met in noosa. the ones with whom we watched a canucks game live online. was awesome and we even got through to dreamworld (the other park by the same company) for free and went on one of the rides, we then left to grab our shirts and tried to get back in, but this time they stopped us. I'm not sure whether i should have mad that we could've just stayed and went on all the other rides, or glad that we got through once and did a ride for free. hmmm, i'll get back to you...no i won't but w/e. the other two days darcy and i went to another set of water and ride parks, Wet n' Wild and Movieworld. Movie world had a couple sweet rides and wet n wild was good too but the slides were harsh on our backs. terrible construction. today we're wating for the bus to take us to byron bay where i think we will most likely have to get jobs to help us pay for our spending habits. darcy and i have been reading a lot lately too as it is cheaper than drinking and that can only be done so many times a week ;) right now i am reading 'The Age of Turbulence' by Alan Greespan, so far a good read.
So maroochydore was one of the worst parts of the last week and a half that have been kind of slow, disjointed and dull at times (besides the theme parks of course), in part i think due to the weather. anyway the YHA there was a terrible hostel with a really weird asshole of a manager (i would say it differently but i don't know what else would describe him)the hostel was in the middle of nowhere in a residential area and the free shuttle into town was unrliable, on the way back the manager forgot to pick us up so we waited at the pickup zone for an hour. good show. while there we checked out the underwater world, an aquarium you walk under in a glass tunnel. then we just chilled with a coffee and read some local papers. the next day we left, a day ahead of schedule as we didn't want to be there anymore, although the other hostellers there were pretty good and we went out that night which was a good time. couldn't take our surfboards to maroochydore cuz the bus driver wouldn't let us (this was a local transit system), didn't matter though as the weather was too cold anyway. k sorry for all the bad news, i really can't complain about travelling australia, we are still having fun, just a bit of a lull lately, that's all. even darcy was bored the other day. as mentioned i'm getting into reading which is helping a lot to get through it. surfer's paradise has also been eye candy for me in that i love looking at all the high rises, how impressive they are and how each one tries so hard to be unique. the V8 supercar indy is getting ready to start so all the streets are lined with cement barriers and grandstands, pretty cool, wish i could be here for that. anyway i have like 2 minutes left so i'm gonna wrap it up...if you really want more just email me and i'll tell you what you need to know. cheers.
